A Deep Dive Into The Cast Of Survivor 48

From stunt performers to pizzeria managers and beyond, the cast of Survivor 48 is unlike anything fans of the franchise have seen before, certain to create a season like no other this spring.

Premiering in 2000, Survivor superfans have seen the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to the Emmy Award-winning show’s contestants—with some even causing quite a bit of controversy—but the Survivor 48 cast might just be the most wild and diverse of them all.

Consisting of a substance abuse counselor, a music executive—who is close friends with “vampire” singer Olivia Rodrigo (per his Instagram profile)—a surgeon and more, this season’s castaways could not be more different from one another, ready to battle it out on the shores of Fiji for $1 million and the title of “Sole Survivor.”

Nevertheless, to find out everything you need to know about the Survivor 48 cast ahead of the premiere of the reality television series on Feb. 26, just keep scrolling.
